The 2XKO closed beta is officially live, as many are getting the chance to play the fighting game properly.
Currently, the roster features nine playable characters – all champions from League of Legends.
But most expected that a 10 champion would be revealed soon, ahead of 2XKO’s full release.
With 171 different LoL champions to choose from, speculation was rife with theories and ideas as to who the 10th would be.
Now we know the answer as the 10th 2XKO champion has accidentally been leaked.

The most recent champion, Blitzcrank, was accidentally leaked as a 2XKO character before his official reveal.
And now it appears the same has happened again, as a datamine has revealed Teemo as the next 2XKO champion.
LoL content creator SkinSpotlights datamined an image revealing details about 2XKO’s first Battle Pass.
The picture shows upcoming skins that will be added to the gam,e and one of them is for the iconic Teemo.
2XKO Upcoming Battlepass will has 3 different paid tiers, Premium (Just the Battlepass), Premium Plus (BP + 10 Levels) and Ultimate (BP + 25 Levels).

SkinSpotlights joked that Teemo’s passive from LoL where he turns invisible wasn’t working.
Meanwhile, the official 2XKO account replied asking, “how’d that get in there?”
This could be a fantastic troll by Riot Games, but Teemo was already a likely candidate.
The adorable small Yordle is one of LoL’s most iconic champions, especially because most people see him as a demon.
The small and innocent-looking character is actually hellish to play against as he turns invisible and litters the map with poisonous mushrooms.
How he will work in 2XKO remains a mystery.
Many didn’t expect any Yordles as the small hitbox could be an issue in a fighting game.
Oh so they did figure out how to implement Yordles despite height concerns https://t.co/CDBIW2OU0u

But clearly, Riot has figured it out and is ready to unleash Teemo’s annoying shrooms on the fighting game community.
First 2XKO Battle Pass details revealed
There’s a lot to uncover as Riot has revealed everything you need to know about the 2XKO closed beta
Unlike the Alpha Labs, there will not be a Battle Pass in the 2XKO closed beta.
However, one must be coming soon, judging by what SkinSpotlights uncovered in the latest datamine.

The creator discovered there will be three different paid tiers.
There is Premium (which is just the regular battlepass), the Premium Plus (+ 10 Levels) and Ultimate (+ 25 Levels).
The leak also gives us a first look at new skins coming to 2XKO for Braum, Illaoi, Teemo, and Yasuo.
Seeming to feature a knight, bard, monk, and a rogue, early theories are a DnD theme for the set.
